🇮🇹 La barca a vela è davvero un lusso? In questo video mettiamo i numeri sul tavolo e smontiamo un’idea molto diffusa. Partendo dalle spese quotidiane che spesso non consideriamo — abbonamenti, auto, cene fuori, micro-acquisti — vediamo come, razionalizzando i costi, il mantenimento di una piccola barca a vela sia molto più accessibile di quanto si pensi. Niente sogni irrealistici e niente barche da salone: solo conti reali, scelte consapevoli e un confronto onesto tra stile di vita a terra e vita in barca. La vela non è per tutti. Ma non è un lusso. Ecco il link al file drive SOLO PER GLI ABBONATI AL CANALE: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_-ECzuxJ0wQ7efb6l1dfXMVXgWJt9GyPBPO8p9M-Wv0/edit?gid=739411865#gid=739411865 #vento #meteo #barcavela #vela #nautica #vitainbarca #faidate #diynautico #mare #passionemare #inbarccondario #lusso #forum #dibattito ___________________________________________________________ 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Is sailing really a luxury? In this video, we put the numbers on the table and challenge a common assumption. By looking at everyday expenses we rarely think about — subscriptions, cars, eating out, and small daily purchases — we show how, by rethinking our spending, the cost of owning and maintaining a small sailboat can be far more affordable than most people believe. No unrealistic dreams and no boat-show yachts. Just real numbers, conscious choices, and an honest comparison between life on land and life on a small sailboat. Sailing isn’t for everyone. But it isn’t a luxury. #wind #sailboat #sailing #nautical #lifeonboard #diyboat #sea #ocean #inbarccondario #luxury ___________________________________________________________ 📬Per richieste commerciali/proposte di lavoro/collaborazioni: 📩 dario.bevilacqua.011@gmail.com Se hai consigli, come sempre nei commenti puoi dirmi che cosa ne pensi!

Catamaran vs Luxury Villa — Choose Freedom A catamaran is more than a yacht — it’s your moving waterfront villa. Instead of one address, one view, one neighborhood — you get the entire Mediterranean as your backyard. Today the French Riviera. Tomorrow Capri. Next week Greece or Croatia. Your home travels with you. Why a Catamaran Beats Traditional Real Estate • Private luxury villa on the water • Direct access to the sea — your own “private beach” • Panoramic views from every cabin • Total privacy and comfort • The freedom to change countries without changing your home A hotel gives you a room. A villa gives you one location. A catamaran gives you a lifestyle without borders. Easier Than You Think Modern catamarans are stable, intuitive and simple to operate: – Smart navigation systems – Mobile weather and marina booking – Fuel-efficient engines – Minimal rolling and maximum comfort No license? No problem. Boatmarket Corp provides complimentary skipper training with every Fountaine Pajot or Dufour purchase. A beachfront villa starts from €3,000,000+. A luxury Fountaine Pajot catamaran starts from ≈€500,000 — with the waterfront living space and far more freedom. Non-EU buyers can save up to 20% VAT through legal export via Montenegro, with the ability to cruise EU waters for extended periods. Full Support by Boatmarket Corp • Maintenance & refit • Winter storage • Delivery to any destination • Interior personalization • Lifestyle equipment & upgrades Stop visiting the sea.

👩🏽‍🔧 j’ai un problème de moteur qui claque, et un nouveau symptôme est apparu récemment de la fumée qui sort par le filtre à air… Donc Lionel a eu la gentillesse de me proposer son aide, on a identifié différentes causes possibles et dans cette vidéo je te montre tout ce qu’on a fait sur le moteur pour essayer d’éliminer les différentes pistes. On a commencé par démonter et contrôler le circuit du Waterlock (échappement du moteur à refroidissement à eau), puis le réglage des culbuteurs et on n’en a profité au passage pour changer la note qui en avait bien besoin !

In this video, I walk you through everything we did on the engine to eliminate each potential issue, step by step. We started by disassembling and inspecting the waterlock system (the exhaust on a water-cooled engine), then moved on to adjusting the valve clearances. While we were at it, we also changed the oil, which was clearly overdue! The job isn’t finished yet — we’re still waiting for the gaskets to reassemble everything properly, and we also noticed that the engine mounts aren’t tightened… 👉 So there’s still work ahead, but you’ll see all that in a next video! 📺 Main Playlists: 🧰 Boat Renovation https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoqFuh2SKR9VNMaUm-yzDWpmgd4FCKP7W&si=GrOT-J9q5nP0IcRo ⛵️ Learning to Sail https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoqFuh2SKR9XNKiNFDeohcAw99ut8sVs8&si=HffFgoo8oCLGK_hk 📦 Wanna support me?

This episode provides a basic overview of international maritime day shape rules and use for sailors. Day shapes are standardized daytime signals used around the world to convey important information (towing, not under command, motor sailing, vessel is anchored, etc.) Requirements for use of day shapes by sailors vary based on the size of the vessel, inland versus coastal or international waters, and the specific circumstances (such as anchoring in a remote area versus a congested waterway). It's important for sailors to know the basic shapes and when they are required to use them. Even when exemptions for use exist, sailors can always opt to use the appropriate day shapes as a courtesy to other boaters and for enhancing safety.

We’re about to cross a shallow entrance with a deep keel, so guessing isn’t an option. In this video, I show a simple way to verify actual depth with a line and a knot—then how to use that real number to set your depth sounder “offset” correctly. Key idea: your sounder measures from the transducer, not necessarily from the keel or the waterline—so the offset must be set intentionally. I’ll also show the easiest way to avoid mental math: draw a quick diagram of depth vs keel draft so you know exactly what number you need to see on the display to stay safe. 00:00 - Shallow Sandbar Crossing Setup 00:43 - DIY Depth Measurement (Line + Knot Method) 01:12 - Confirming True Depth (Measure the Line) 01:48 - Transducer Location Changes the Offset #sailing #boating #sailor #sailingschool

This week aboard GOAT 2.0, our Lagoon 400, we officially start the next phase of upgrades by improving one of the most critical (and often overlooked) systems onboard: tank monitoring. We installed Gobius C tank sensors, bringing accurate, reliable tank level information back to the boat without drilling holes or dealing with unreliable floats. But it wasn’t all wiring and configuration—because boat life is also about balance. So we took a break, jumped on our Harley-Davidsons, and rode along the southern coast of Spain, discovering the town of Adra… and unexpectedly finding tequeños, which immediately made the trip worth it. ⚙️ GOBIUS C TANK SENSOR – TECHNICAL OVERVIEW The Gobius C is a non-invasive ultrasonic tank level sensor, designed specifically for marine environments where reliability and simplicity matter. Instead of installing probes or floats inside the tank, the Gobius C is mounted externally on the outside of the tank and uses ultrasonic technology to measure the liquid level through the tank wall. Key Features & Specs: Non-invasive installation – no drilling, no contact with liquids Ultrasonic sensing through plastic or fiberglass tanks Compatible with fresh water, grey water, and black water tanks NMEA 2000 compatible, integrating directly into modern marine networks Outputs real-time tank level data to chartplotters, MFDs, and monitoring systems Extremely reliable in sloshing conditions and under sail Zero maintenance, no moving parts On GOAT 2.0, the Gobius C sensors feed directly into our NMEA 2000 backbone, allowing us to see tank levels on our navigation displays and inside our Raspberry Pi / Signal K system. This is a massive upgrade over traditional float sensors, which are notorious for sticking, failing, or giving false readings. For a cruising catamaran, knowing exactly how much water you have left is not a luxury—it’s safety and autonomy. 🏍️ LIFE BEYOND THE BOAT After days of boat projects, we needed a change of pace. So we fired up the Harleys and rode along the stunning Andalusian coastline, ending up in Adra, a small coastal town with deep maritime roots and a relaxed, authentic vibe. And then came the surprise: tequeños. Crispy, cheesy, perfect fuel after a long ride. Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you’re not looking for them.

Once at sea, we share a realistic look at everyday life aboard and the challenges that come with it. Long passages mean limited interaction with the outside world, disrupted routines, and ongoing sleep deprivation, especially during night watches. We talk openly about how these factors affect morale and how we adapt as a crew to stay focused and positive. You will see us testing and changing different sail configurations, explaining how we choose the right sails for varying conditions and why flexibility is essential on an offshore passage. The video also follows our night watches in detail, showing what happens after dark and how we manage responsibility, safety, and fatigue. A highlight of the episode is an honest and entertaining segment from our 13-year-old, who shares what it is like standing night watch, what he finds challenging, and what he misses most—particularly Wi-Fi, music, and staying connected with his friends. We also show how cooking aboard plays an important role in boosting morale. From simple meals to small comforts, food becomes a way to break up the routine, bring everyone together, and maintain energy during long days and nights at sea. This episode captures both the preparation and the emotional reality of offshore sailing, balancing practical seamanship with the human side of life aboard on a family passage.

After having removed my sailboat´s interior I realized issues with it´s stringers. Careful investigation revealed a complete structural failure of all stringers. The core being completely rotten left me speechless. Jeanneau must have left all holes for wires and tubes unprotected and the result is devastating. I hope the structural repair will cause no troubles. Preparing Celina for the winter I had the engine removed for a major overhaul. In the warm garage I can now start to concentrate fixing every corroded part and supply new wiring and tubes. Stay tuned...

We are still trying to get ready for our Electric Motor Installation. So many parts are needed for the wiring, cooling and control of the system that it is hard to keep track of everything. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. Two ongoing jobs are preparing for our electric motor installation and creating a cockpit enclosure for our wheelhouse.

Sailing MISTRAL exposed WEST coast of Sardinia is NOT for the FAINT HEARTED. Monohull SAILING with a BROKEN RIB isn't funny! Don't make me laugh, it HURTS! Determined to CARRY ON, Sheenagh smiles through gritted teeth when dolphins play. We test upgrades, repairs and maintenance completed last two weeks at Cagliari. Are they good to keep us afloat? Either way, we can't wait to get sailing again. New genoa sail looks great but it's WRONG! Shelter when near GALE attacks the coast and DRIFT when wind dies. Explore Carloforte, Portoscuso and Calasetta marinas. Are these towns on remote southwest coast worth visiting on your sailing passage around Sardinia? We think so. #sailing #mediterranean #sardinia S3 Ep12: Surrounding Italy - Ouch! Don't make me laugh!

Not a How-To – Just Real Engine Maintenance on a Yanmar 3YM30. Servicing the engine isn’t glamorous, but it’s one of those jobs that really matters. In this episode, I tackle a full engine service on our Yanmar 3YM30 – including an oil and fuel filter change, chasing down a leak, and replacing a broken impeller that could have caused far bigger problems if it had gone unnoticed. This definitely isn’t an instructional step-by-step, but it’s an honest look at what’s involved when you take on your own engine maintenance. There’s plenty of “boat yoga” along the way – arms and legs at odd angles, tight spaces, dropped tools, and moments of doubt – but we get there in the end. Finding the leak turned into a more expensive exercise than planned, but it also uncovered the failed impeller, making it a timely and worthwhile discovery. It’s a good reminder that sometimes the frustrating jobs are the ones that save you down the track. If you’re thinking about servicing your own engine, or just curious about what really goes on below deck, there’s plenty here to learn – and maybe a bit of reassurance that you don’t need to be a mechanic to give it a go.

This is the continuation of the extensive work we had carried out in Anacortes Washington in Sept Oct 2025. It also covers some work we had done on the boat in Comox BC with camera upgrades.

Can you afford to go sailing in the Med? Most likely, I found our costs way better than expected! In this video, I break down our actual costs of 1 year living and cruising on our fully electric catamaran, covering thousands of miles through Italy, Croatia, and Greece. Starting on the hard in just outside Venice, down through the length of Croatia, across the Adriatic on our first overnight crossings, and finally into Greece, where we spent the winter aboard in Preveza Marina. This isn’t a theoretical budget or a "perfect year", these are the real numbers tracked through the year. We cover: -Mooring and marina fees (only 18 paid nights all year) -Cruising fees -Food, groceries, eating and coffee dates -Starlink internet (connected 365 days, even offshore) -Insurance, -Breakdown cover -Maintenance -Water and Electricity -The final total This was for two people and two dogs travelling thousands of miles through three countries for a full year in some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in Europe. ----------------------------------- We live on a 1976 Catalac 9M that we converted to a fully electric boat. All our energy comes from our solar panels and we use it for propulsion, cooking and even making water! Our boat is 9m long by 4.2m wide and weighs 5 tons. We have 3200W of solar, two 6kW ePropulsion outboards, and a 14.4kWh lifepo4 battery pack.

Once again we rung in the New Year in Trinidad, this time not on our yacht, but at the nearby island of Gasparee where fireworks light up the night sky. From there it was straight back to boat work, getting our sailing catamaran ready for 2026. It's a year that has already brought great change, with new crew, and promises our biggest adventures yet! To help us get there Nino is back, everyone's favourite tradesman who initially came to Trinidad to help with our Leopard Catamaran warranty saga and ended up becoming Captain Nino, with his own sailing home and dreams of boat life. For anyone who's been following the progress of the custom carbon fiber table, this is the video where it is FINALLY installed - we are so happy with the outcome of this DIY carbon fiber project. 👉 SUPPORT THE STORY TELLING ⛵ Gain access to our member only area: https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/join-in 😎 Tip jar: https://buy.stripe.com/6oE8A1d9Yabj4OA9AB After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran.

Deep dive into a practical fiberglass repair. When we removed the floors in Paikea's port side, we found classic core damage: delamination and a shear crack from an old impact.

Our friend Kris (@big.sierra-i1f) made the journey south to Mexico to join us for the final La Cruz Days party—and what started as a music-filled farewell quickly turned into an impromptu camping adventure in Chacala. From beach sunsets and cold beers to late-night jams and dusty roads, this trip perfectly captured the magic of cruiser culture in Mexico. After La Cruz, Chris and I wrapped up the season in true Baja fashion at the Lusty on Land end-of-season party, celebrating with live bands, sailors, musicians, and the incredible community that forms around places like La Cruz de Huanacaxtle every winter. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to chase music, friendship, and freedom while cruising Mexico—this is it. Don't miss out on upcoming sailing adventures, DIY stories, and equipment reviews!

A quick check after rowing out to Wahine. No water flowing from the engine is never a good sign, so I pulled the impeller plate to inspect it for damage. A bit of crud inside, but the impeller itself looked fine. While I was there, I cleaned the starter and related components to make sure everything was working as it should. Reassembled, crossed fingers… and the engine fired up with water flowing normally again. One of those small boat moments that ends with relief. #BoatLife, #SailingLife, #EngineCheck, #LifeAfloat, #PacificSolo, #BoatMaintenance

RAW and UNCUT... okay so this video isn't entirely uncut because I have to fit our lives into a 20-30 minute video.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that feel the most special when you live life afloat 🌊 In this video, we head out for a relaxed day on land, riding e-bikes and soaking up the kind of everyday pleasures land lubbers often take for granted. We wander through the local farmers market, then make our way up to Jacksonville to meet up with a friend and head out sailing for the day ⛵️ That evening takes a turn for the legendary when we get to enjoy our friend’s incredible invention — a floating hot tub off the back of a sailboat. Yes… it’s exactly as awesome as it sounds 🔥🛁 The next day, we borrow a friend’s car to track down some essential boat maintenance supplies. Jase gets stuck into a full engine service to make sure everything’s dialed in for the new year, we install a 110-volt inverter, and then top it all off by treating ourselves to a small but exciting Christmas present for the galley 🎄⚓️ A mix of simple joys, boat life realities, and one seriously cool floating hot tub — hope you enjoy the ride!

I had a brainwave last night, so just before starting to build the battery box for our Fogstar batteries (on top of the other batteries we finished yesterday) I have re-orientated them.

If you’re building a no-compromise racing setup and “winning is everything,” this video breaks down what to look for in high-performance sailing line. We cover why pure Dyneema cores deliver near zero stretch, how premium covers handle the abuse of sheaves/blocks and winches, and what that means for holding sail shape under load. Looking to upgrade your lines check out R&W Rope - https://www.rwrope.com Free Sail Trim Course - https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/basic-sail-trim?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=uaHGA5RGUbA Advanced Sail Trim Course - https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/sail-trim?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=uaHGA5RGUbA You’ll hear real examples of top-tier options like New England Ropes Endura Braid / Endura Euro and Marlow D2 Race, plus the practical tradeoffs around stiffness, friction wear, chafe resistance, and ongoing inspection for high-load applications. 00:00 - Best High-Performance Sailing Line (Racing) 00:14 - New England Ropes Endura Braid: Dyneema Core, Zero Stretch 00:47 - Marlow D2 Race: Tight Cover Weave for Durability 01:13 - Pure Dyneema: High Performance, High Maintenance #sailing #sailboat #sailor #rope

Sürekli kötü haberler, bitmeyen krizler ve çaresizlik hissi… Psikolojide buna haber yorgunluğu ve öğrenilmiş çaresizlik deniyor. Denize açılmak bir kaçış değil; zihnin kendini onarma çabası. Çok fazla kötü haber. Çok az umut. O yüzden denize gidiyoruz. Haber yorgunluğu, bilgi kaçınması ve öğrenilmiş çaresizlik… İnsanlar gerçek dünyadan kaçmıyor. Sadece denizde yeniden nefes alabiliyor. Dünya yoruyor. Haberler ağır geliyor. Deniz, biraz olsun susmamıza izin veriyor.

I rowed out to my boat Wahine and found some good news - the bilge is dry and the battery is fully charged thanks to the sun. However, I discovered potential engine problems that could be basic maintenance issues or a fuel line problem. Additionally, my seawater intake might be clogged with barnacles since no seawater is coming out when I start the engine. Because of these issues, I've decided not to move the boat today and am heading back ashore to get supplies. #BoatLife #Wahine #EngineMaintenance #SailingProblems #BoatRepair #Barnacles #MarineLife #BoatOwner #DIYBoating

In this video I reveal 10 sailboats that almost no one is buying in 2026, even as prices keep dropping. I explain what’s scaring buyers away, which boats might be hidden bargains, and when a “cheap” listing is really just a future maintenance nightmare instead of a real deal. 00:00 Intro 00:53 Hunter 27 01:58 Beneteau First 235 02:59 MacGregor 26 04:04 Catalina 25 05:09 Pearson 30 06:11 O'Day 28 07:17 Irwin 34 08:24 Watkins 27 09:34 Columbia 36 10:41 Chrysler 22 11:50 Ending Copyright Disclaimer This video may include copyrighted material used under the “fair use” principle for educational and informational purposes.

You think a ship stops only in port? Surprise 😏 This is what it really looks like when a cargo ship’s Main Engine is stopped in the middle of the ocean. No traffic jams, no honking… just calm seas, silence, and a crew casually doing their job like it’s another day at the office. Stopped doesn’t always mean trouble — sometimes it’s maintenance, checks, or planned operations. Life at sea is peaceful, technical, and way cooler than you imagine 🌊⚙️ If you thought ships run non-stop… welcome to reality.

In this week's episode, I go back to the beginning of the season where I arrive at the marina to find an unexpectedly breezy day. While the forecast called for gusts below 15 mph, it was very windy when I arrived. Looking back at the weather data for the day, it was gusting well into the 20s all afternoon with a maximum gust of 28 mph. Since I had already made the long drive, I decided to make the best of it and head out onto the lake under a double-reefed mainsail only. I've solo sailed in these conditions many times and knew the boat would be able to handle it with a reefed mainsail. It was slow going, but as they say: "A bad day of sailing beats a good day of work!" Throughout the video I share tips, thoughts and observations about sailing in heavy winds under mainsail only. This day was a perfect example of the frustrations, challenges and excitement sailors face when sailing in the unpredictable winds of high-altitude mountain lakes. Subscribe and follow @ColoradoSailing on YouTube for more original sailing videos, gear, boat maintenance, sailing tips and travel content as I sail my Precision 18 trailer sailer and Precision 16 sailing dinghy in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota. #sailingchannel #coloradosailing #sailing #mountainsailing #extremesports

Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time.
